This drug is different from Ambien and Lunesta in that it doesn't make you feel sleepy quickly after taking your dose. It starts to work in about an hour, and if you eat before taking it can take longer to kick in. The biggest problem with this med for me is the dreams. They can be very crazy, scary, and seem to be very long. Sometimes I do have pretty bad, vivid nightmares. I also seemed to b ... Show Full Comment

They can be very crazy, scary, and seem to be very long. Sometimes I do have pretty bad, vivid nightmares. I also seemed to build a tolerance to 10mg quickly, and am now on 20mg. I would give this drug a C overall, It works for me, but sometimes I wonder if the dreams are worth it.

Sonata has worked extremely well for me. I have had sleep problems periodically for my entire life. I usually fall asleep easily, but during stressful times, I tend to wake up at 3:00 a.m. without being able to fall back to sleep.

Sonata has worked extremely well for me. I have had sleep problems periodically for my entire life. I usually fall asleep easily, but during stressful times, I tend to wake up at 3:00 a.m. without being able to fall back to sleep. Because Sonata works for just 4 hours, I can take it only on the nights that I need it. I take it at 3:00 a.m. I took Ambien for a long while, and didn't like it because I felt stupid and hung-over in the morning. Also, I don't like taking a prescription sleep drug every night. Sonata has been my 'miracle' drug for a few years now. Some weeks I don't take it at all, but the security of having a reliable sleep-solution in my medicine cabinet means that I sleep better, even on some nights whenI don't take it! (Also, Sonata is the perfect sleep-aid for long air flights and as an aid to recover from jet-lag.)
